Broken

Back To School Welcome

----------(Nick's pov)--------

NO! I couldn't like Maddie. I shouldn't like Maddie. We have been best friends since 6th grade. I walk over to the kitchen where she is with Don.

"Hey Nick, so what do you guys want for breakfast?" Don asked.

"Pancakes?" Maddie answered.

"Sure," Don said and he walks over to start making pancakes. Today was Monday and we had to go to school. I just hope everyone doesn't give Maddie a hard time today.

---------(Maddie's pov)-------

I was very reluctant to go to school today. I didn't know if I could handle it.

"Maddie you ready?" Nick asked.

He was being so nice to me lately. I'm not sure why.

"Y-ya, I'm r-ready," I said walking towards his car nervously.

"It's ok Maddie, I understand you're nervous but I'll be with you. I promise I won't let anything happen to you," Nick said giving me a reassuring smile.

I smiled back and stepped into the car. Nick started the car and drove towards the school.

----------(Lilly's pov)---------

I walked into my first period class to find Maddie sitting in her assigned seat, which just so happens to be next to my seat. I walked over and sat down.

"Hey," I said nervously to Maddie.

She didn't even look at me.

"How are you today?" I tried again.

She just stared at the board as of I wasn't even talking to her.

After about 5 min our teacher walked in and I gave up on trying to talk to Maddie. I figured I would try again later. I managed to convince myself that mabye she just didn't want to talk right now although, deep inside I knew this wasn't true.

--------(Maddie's pov)--------

I got through the first half of the school day by ignoring the rude insults people said to me. I guess lunch was just my breaking point.

I walked into the cafeteria and sat next to Nick. People still didn't stop with the insults but Nick managed to distract me. That Is until She came over. Cindy Martin, the meanest girl in school.

"Hey Nick, Maddie. Why are you guys sitting alone?" Cindy chimed in her 'I rule the school' voice.

"Go away," I said.

"Harsh, I was just going to ask if you want to sit with us Nick. Well,Maddie can come too... I guess," She said with a phony smile.

"We are fine," Nick chimed in.

I felt his hand meet mine under the table. It was nice of him but I wasn't sure if that's what friends did. But then again, what do I know about friends.

      

             --------------

about five minutes later, I guess Cindy finally got annoyed with us or mad that we wouldn't do what she wanted. She just decided to take my water bottle and spill it all over my head. I heard her say "oops sorry" while the whole cafeteria laughed. Tears pricked my eyes and I ran out of the cafeteria. Not bothering to stop at a bathroom to dry off. I ran out the front door and started to run home. "Maddie!" I heard Nick say. I just kept running.
